CuteMouse doesn't have any of these "elevating" resources. But whatever
the mouse sends is passed over to the application. In DOS it is up to
Appication to uses it

Most mice operate in a "staged" manner; that is, upon power-up even
the most sophisticated mouse emulates a basic two button affair, until
software jumps through a series of hoops to elevate its capabilities
by sending a series of magic sequences of commands. The problem is
that most applications only go as far as elevating the mouse to three
button operation (if that - some perform no "elevation" at all, and
leave you stuck with the most basic mouse mode) and never even attempt
to activate wheel mode. Regardless of mode, however, the PS/2
interrupt (at least for PS/2 mice) fires the same way.
This is done because an interface to the enhanced features of advanced
mice was never standardized, so manufacturers made do with existing
commands, but simply gave special significance to certain sequences of
them which would not normally occur in typical application usage. One
such example is setting the mouse acceleration with a specific series
of values instead of the usual procedure of directly setting the
desired acceleration value directly and leaving it at that.

I believe the problem with the scroll wheel is that it doesn't
generate
an interrupt, so if the mouse driver doesn't specifically look for the
scrool wheel, there's no way for the computer or operating system to
know that it is being used. I had a similar problem under windows
several years ago, and the solution was to turn off one of the
settings
in the dos prompt configuration. That also allowed right clicking
within
the dos prompt, (not just on the dos application, so you could select
paste, copy and such), but actually have the right click be passed to
the dos application. That particular configuration item has since
stopped working as it used to. But, on the other hand, it's really not
necessary anymore, since a right click does the proper thing now.
I have
no idea if there's an equivalent option for dos mouse drivers, but
I do
know if the driver doesn't support scroll wheels, then your mouse
won't
respond to the wheel, no matter how much you move it or click it.
Perhaps there's a command line parameter to activate the scroll
wheel on
your particular driver. I've never used the cute mouse driver, so
can't
say if it does have such a parameter or not.

Hi,
The progs I found which can use scroll wheel
4Dos; Help,Select and History
Syschk
MPXplay
I have tried wheelk butit does not make any difference in any
program
I tried,
I really would love for it to work in File Wizard.
Have any of you found other programs or ways there scroll
mouse works ?
